Ah. Sorry.
>> You can't specify the Linux driver for Wine, can you?
You don't as such (except to specify the open sound system, currently the
only available wine audio driver). That's the whole point of drivers, they
abstract the hardware so it looks the same to an application running on top.
If the Linux sound driver is working then probably it's either a permissions
problem or a wine misconfiguration problem. You need to tell wine to use the
oss drivers (if that's what you're using). If you've got something like
[WinMM]
"Drivers" = "wineoss.drv"
"WaveMapper" = "msacm.drv"
"MidiMapper" = "midimap.drv"
I think it should work (assuming permissions and ownership are OK on
/dev/dsp and friends).
